Regardless of findings of the laws passing on the right, according the Austin Police dept, if they see a bicycle going between lanes, or on the right of a lane, and getting in front of a car at a red light, the police will stop you, and give you a ticket. I was told a bicycle has to follow the same rules as the other vehicles, and the same way if a car passed on the right and got in front of another car at a stop light would get a ticket, so would you. It's common sense, and safety for all the vehicles on the road. The cars are not allowed to be within 3 ft of a car, and the bicycles should not go within 3 foot of a car, even if the car is stopped at a red light.
